You are just amazing! I

You are just amazing! I don't know how you read so fast but I wish I could do that. I just can't seem to get through my books. I buy books faster than I can read them and they have really piled up. I just hope my husband doesn't doesn't say anything about the credit card bill. LOL

Hi Janet....

Even though I read pretty quickly, unfortunately my TBR increases at least twice the speed I read....
   Probably a lot more.  Undecided

And if I ever have a day off from babysitting, then I'm pretty much glued to my seat reading. Wink

Whew!

    I've got a lot of reviews yet to do for July, as you can see.  Slowly I'll be getting them done. 
As of right now, I have 9  to do for July and I already have 6 books read for August. 

     I did finally manage to complete the "MORE TO COME" reviews that I had left hanging a few weeks ago.

     Guess my ability to spend more time reading is coming back faster than my ability to sit for long(ish) periods behind the computer... but it's all slowly improving. 
        CT Scan tomorrow and an end to the concussion in sight? Tongue out

Kathy - I won't criticise the size of your backlog if you don't

Posted on August 5th, 2009, 10:50pm by Sadhbh

criticise the size of mine!

Given that I stopped counting in June I have NO idea how many books I've read so far, except that I'm past the 500 mark

Hoping to get some more reviews done when my finger improves, but have to spend today packing as we're off to Ireland tomorrow

Hugs

No critcism from me!

     And what's the problem with your finger?  I've likely missed it with my ~ extremely ~ spotty attendance here.  Sure hope you're back to very soon!

  And all the best on the packing ~ UGH! ~ but 'specially on the trip.  Will you be visiting family?

Kathy - guess you haven't been reading my blog LOL

Posted on August 6th, 2009, 9:30am by Sadhbh

I got stung by a wasp on my right index finger so it's painful to hold a pen or type which makes catching up with my blog even more difficult and now I'm busy packing for our departure tomorrow

Can't really see myself getting caught up when I'm visiting the family in Ireland
